Well, the motherboard build is complete and I added more extended bus connectors for flexibility. A 12v PS for the fans, and a hefty 5V PS for the system. Overkill, but hey, I love this stuff. A smoked glass front for some displays and LEDs in the future.

It's getting there Ed. I have all the parts soldered on the boards that I have, but those get wrapped up and stuck under the tree for another month. In the meantime, I need to finish up the serial card I'm working on, figure out the RTC board I want, get a printer port card (I know which one of those I gonna get), and keep fleshing out the code this thing will run. This will be the first project that will rely on the CP/M 2.2 OS to the fullest extent I can make it. When it is finished, it will be able to act as a file, print, and time server for my other CP/M machines. I'm hoping that the thing will just run 24/7/365, hence the power and cooling I put in the box. Oh, and I have some metal work to do on the rear panel..... fun, fun, fun, and I don't even own a T-bird!
